Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.
Failure mode and effects analysis ( FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system ...

The RFC specifies this code should be returned by teapots requested to brew coffee. [18] This HTTP status is used as an Easter egg in some websites, such as Google.com's "I'm a teapot" easter egg. [19] [20] [21] Sometimes, this status code is also used as a response to a blocked request, instead of the more appropriate 403 Forbidden. [22] [23]
Polling (computer science) Polling, or interrogation, refers to actively sampling the status of an external device by a client program as a synchronous activity. Polling is most often used in terms of input/output ( I/O ), and is also referred to as polled I/O or software-driven I/O. A good example of hardware implementation is a watchdog timer .
Wireless Application Protocol ( WAP) is a now obsolete technical standard for accessing information over a mobile cellular network. Introduced in 1999, [ 1] WAP allowed at launch users with compatible mobile devices to browse content such as news, weather and sports scores provided by mobile network operators, specially designed for the limited ...
